This ability is limited by one's own foundation.
So Vald only amplifies his speed because his physique is just like that, fundamentally weak, despite being so big.
A hundred times one is just one hundred.
But a hundred times a hundred is ten thousand.
No matter if it's a strong or weak individual, the amplification limit is only so much, so the stronger one is, the greater the power they can exert, but the degree of limitation also becomes greater.
The stronger one is, the less physique they have to withstand it.
Vald's physique, when amplified by a hundred times, is still within the range of endurance. In Sage's view, apart from the fruit, his own strength can only be said to be average; compared to his strength, perhaps his physical constitution exceeds a bit more.
And Sage is much stronger, strong enough that a hundred-fold speed amplification is his limit, and he has to be cautious to protect himself. Even if at this moment the power is amplified by just onefold... the destructiveness brought about is terrifyingly great, and likewise, nearly unbearable.
The change in quantity can cause a change in quality.
Ordinary firecrackers, when enlarged by a hundred times, just make a loud noise; the problem isn't big.
But a firecracker that can already hurt people, when amplified further...
It's not the same thing then.
Sage can manage moving with the amplified speed, but if it's an attack, the power isn't calculated the same way.
Power is something inherently calculated differently, if it's speed enhancement, merely attacking with the hundredfold amplified speed can escalate power to ten thousand times.
So that's why Kizaru's kicks are so painful!
And the More-More Fruit, when calculated using cannonballs, once amplified to a hundredfold, first it's the volume that's increased, with the length, width, and height multiplied by a hundred, then it automatically amplifies the mass, then adds a hundredfold weight, plus a hundredfold speed...
If summed up into power...
Ah, it's so tedious, I don't want to calculate!
This doesn't even include Sage himself.
He can use 'Fist Bone'!
Throwing cannonballs barehanded is more powerful than firing them from a cannon, on this basis adding hundredfold power in the throw, and adding hundredfold speed to his own throw...
Sage doesn't know the exact power; he plans to test it after getting out.
Maybe it can destroy an island with one hit!
This reminds him, Byrnndi World seemed to possess such power.
But it was only possible using specially crafted giant cannons.
If Sage were to do it barehanded...
Without those specially crafted giant cannons, it should also be possible.
Of course, he remembers those specially crafted giant cannons only amplified the volume; after all, this thing... consumes stamina.
Amplifying a hundredfold in a single aspect is manageable, but all-around amplification costs a lot of stamina.
Yet compared to power, such stamina consumption is definitely worth it.
"No wonder you're called a 'World Destroyer.' Your strength isn't remarkable, but solely relying on this ability is indeed a great threat."
Sage chuckled, squeezing his five fingers tightly, "But now, this power belongs to me!"
Just at that moment, with just tenfold amplification, he first touched these people's secret holes, paralyzing them on the ground, then kicked the big-faced human.
With his own foundation combined with amplification, it's already fast enough!
With this power...
"Hahaha, Hohohoho!"
Sage threw his head back and laughed, "It's unbearably joyful!"
Kuma!
A black aura akin to flowing fire coiled around him, burning upwards like flames.
He looked towards the rock layer above, locking onto the secret hole, his body gradually tensed.
Full of energy!
Strength regained!
"My face, my face!"
Within the human-shaped cavity, Ivankov quickly drilled out, touching his face in pain, but soon, he flipped his entire face outwards, laughing, "Heehee! You didn't expect it, this is my thick makeup!"
But soon, he stared dumbfoundedly at the aura-coiled Sage, "Haki?!"
How could it be this strong?!
"Hundred Times Speed!"
Boom!
The rock layer above was directly blown open, opening a deep, massive hole, looking through the hole, one could even see a snow-white landscape.
From the center of the fifth and sixth levels, it went straight up!
"Damn guy!"
Ivankov gritted his teeth, jumping back in fright himself, "No, need to seal this place first, can't let anyone find out! Lightning! Lightning!"
He looked at the lightning collapsed on the ground, ran over to check, "Actually paralyzed?! What's this effect..."
Spikes emerged from his fingers, which he thrust into the lightning fiercely, "Healing Hormones!"
Lightning coughed a few times and then got up, "I couldn't move just now, but now I can. I'll start cutting the surrounding rock layer to seal this place, but that Sage guy..."
"Forget about him, that boy is probably trying to break out... Damn it, if that's the case, once Impel Down is alerted, we'll have to scale back our recent operations a bit," Ivankov said.
Even if he wants to manage, he doesn't have the ability.
That guy pretty much emptied the food warehouse, and now if he's going to break out, whether successful or not, it will surely alarm Impel Down, and then gathering supplies won't be so easy.
Came and emptied the supplies they've painstakingly gathered, and even beat them up!
Damned Pirate!
...
"Hmm..."
In an instant, Sage broke through the rock layer, arriving at a place of ice and snow.
The sensation from his feet was the extremely biting cold of ice. The ground was entirely covered in frost, and the cells around were all layered with frost, freezing them completely.
